0_0 I love you
I feel the same way.

QFT
Just to end the thread, I dropped the hint which triggered her memory and she could save face. However, if I hadn’t said anything she would have forgotten. I could tell that she felt bad about the whole thing, but I’d never want her to feel guilty in any way over something so trivial as this.
Power in a relationship must be balanced between both parties to promote growth and to keep self esteem at a healthy level.[/quote]
Instead of “reminding” her like a selfish little boy, you should have just let the day pass. Then in a week or however long it takes her to realize she missed your birthday, she’ll most likely go overboard in making it up to you.

???
Dropping a little reminder like "Wow, I can’t believe I’m going to 48 tomorrow is not acting like a selfish little boy. It allows her to gracefully save face. There’s nothing wrong with that.
I see a lot of mountains out of mole hills in this thread.[/quote]
This.
Sounds like the guy saw a problem coming and made the most caring choice for his relationship.
I should have added that you could have acted like YOU forgot as well.
Thought about this but dismissed it, because she would never believe me, and then I would’ve come over condescending or patronizing.

Actually I have worked the last 3-4 birthdays.
Every where I go, I sit with coffee in hand and talk shit about people.
Especially people from Ohio like Ct Chocolate thunder.
